Am I untitled to any of my husband’s money?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
It would be an uphill battle. First, you have to show that at the time of the injury (reason for the lawsuit) that you were still in an active marriage and not separated, even though you were physically separated. If you can prove that, then you would have to show what portion of the settlement is for lost wages. You are not entitled to any personal injury settlement, but if part of that is for lost wages, you would be entitled to a portion of that part of the money, because wages are community property if they are earned between the date of marriage and the date of separation. You will need an attorney to help you with this complicated case and to present the relevant evidence properly in court. For the amount of your portion of the "lost wages" part of the settlement and the attorney fees you will owe, depending on the settlement amount, it may not be a worthwhile investment of your time and money.

You can file a motion to ask the court to make her do job contacts until she gets a full time job. She can't get your income and spousal support should be capped at the marital standard of living.
